We found out for the first but not the second. We wanted to know the first one and got a lovely kiki (pink check) mamas and papas travel system

My partner is 6 months pregnant, and we have been talking about this ever since we found out.
One minute we want to know then the other we want a surprise, I caved in a while ago and booked a private scan for tomorrow.
My main excuse for it was that we have just bought a house and I need to know what colours to paint the nursery.
Did you find out the sex of your kids before they were born or did you wait and have the surprise?
Any regrets either way?

It sounds like you are in the same boat as I was when me and my partner found out we were having a baby. We had to find a place to live togheter etc within 3months of the birth.
We found out what sex we were having. Remember they predict the sex is not 100% when they tell you etc.
I went for a safe option of colour on the wall.
Just enjoy the ride mate. Nothing teaches you to be a parent mate.

Mrs Abdabz is 3 months pregnant - we had our first scan last week - a private one with a consultant to check for any early genetic defects etc and all was well 
:
We do not wish to know the sex and are designing the nursery in a neutral colour...
That said, what would happen if we painted the nursery blue and it turned out to be a girl? Would the child become a raving lesbian?

I think it's pathetic that some NHS hospitals will tell you while others won't. If someone is willing to terminate a baby because it's the wrong sex they'll obviously pay the £100 to find out privately. Meanwhile everyone else has to pay up if they want to find out too.
itsmainly due to cetain health trusts being sued by people who asked to know the sex, and then when it was inaccurate (as it often is, certainly more than they let on) the punters thought they had the right to sue the relevant trust.
If you really must know then that is your perogative, but dont say "because we want to paint the nursery" as an excuse
Just admit its because you're impatient buggers
the kind of people who snoop for their Christmas presentsThe baby will be in your room for the first six months anyways
NOT in it's own nursery.We didnt find out, it made the birth doubly special imo

Our wee boy is in his nursery though not in the room with us. We were told it was a better deal because it stops them expecting you to be right there and then being too demanding later. Never bothered him at all.

I don't sneak a peek at presents either. It was just nice to know for the first one. The second we chose not to go for a private scan.

why was it nice to know?
<not meant in the tone it's clearly going to sound like but> what did you possible acheive from it?
Science is meddling in human affairs again.
Regarding what you were told, well thats maybe, but I have family in a senior trust position down here and I have heard first hand the amount of money thats been paid out of court to people who got "duff" information, ironically it was explained to me when my mrs brought up the "do we want to know question" and was informed we had no choice.

Well sometimes it is nice to know. Just what is the problem with people wanting to know?
It's not your baby!

I only asked for a reason why, jeez.
Maybe just maybe you may have had some better reason why its better to know and I would have furthered my knowledge somewhat.

Congratulations!
Must admit we didn't want to know or were that bothered...I was still in recovery from the first scan when they said it was twins.
Anyway,a boy and a girl popped out in the end.

Exciting times - Loved going to the scan - I could have watched it forever - The DVD they gave us is only 5 mins long but it is incredible the detail...

You're right, the painting the nursery was an excuse, we just couldn't wait.
Our friends who live in the next road are also having a baby, they better not have a boy now, I sense trouble ahead.
